We will be at Southeast Regional Library in Study Room F!!!
About the Group:
This is a friendly Socratic Café where we explore big ideas through open conversation. No philosophy background is needed, just curiosity, respect, and a willingness to share and listen.
### Discussion Questions:
- How does politics shape the way we see ourselves as part of a community?
- In what ways do political divides affect friendships and family relationships?
- Can we separate our social identity from our political identity? Why or why not?
- How does political language spill into everyday conversation and change how we interact?
- Do you think politics makes people more likely to avoid certain social situations?
- How does media coverage of politics influence how we treat each other socially?
- Has politics made us more tribal in our daily lives, or more connected?
- How do generational differences in politics affect social bonds between younger and older people?
- Can political disagreement ever strengthen relationships instead of weakening them?
- What role does social media play in turning politics into a social experience?
- How does politics shape our sense of belonging in neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces?
- Does discussing politics in casual settings create more openness, or more tension?
- How does politics influence who feels included or excluded in social groups?
- Are there ways to bring people together socially that deliberately move beyond politics?
- What does it mean to live “socially well” in a politically divided time?
